Unique Travel Experiences

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I'm an avid traveler and online content writer. I've lived in South Africa, England and Israel. When I travel I always look for unusual sites slightly off the beaten track but close to major tourist areas. I write a travel blog about the obscure places I've experienced.
